The United States Probation Office is a unit of the
United States Courts that serves both the people of the United States and those
who face judicial sentencing and supervision. This unique responsibility places
upon probation officers the obligation to strictly enforce the orders of the
court while at the same time protecting the offender and defendant from any
obstacle or prejudice that will prevent him from successfull re-entry to
society. To this end the officers of the probation office are sworn to uphold
the laws and Constitution of the United States and to be absolutely fair and
impartial in their duty of enforcing those laws.

As the component of the judiciary responsible for community corrections,
the Federal Probation and Pretrial Services System is fundamentally committed to
providing protection to the public and assisting in the fair administration of
Justice,

The
